Our Linking People Together (LPT) volunteers offer friendly, structured support to older people over a short 6–8‑week period, helping them build confidence, reduce loneliness, and reconnect with their community.

Volunteers work alongside each person to achieve small, meaningful goals, such as trying a new activity, practising digital skills, or attending a first community group—while providing encouragement, motivation, and a reliable weekly check‑in by phone or face‑to‑face.

Volunteers receive training, ongoing support, and reimbursement of reasonable expenses. This flexible role is ideal for anyone who is patient, empathetic, a good listener, and passionate about helping older people stay independent and connected.
